Good places to find Nirvanas?
« on: August 09, 2012, 01:54:06 PM »
Hmm, since I'm new to the whole pony buying thing it makes me especially new to hunting down Nirvanas. Where are places you tend to look for them (other than Ebay, here & the Trading post)? I'm assuming there are other places to hunt for these pretty little creatures. Nirvana buying tips would be awesome, since I now want to start looking into getting them. Totally told myself I wouldn't buy Nirvanas.  :P

Tell me... I haven't been able to get my claws on a Mexican in some (maybe one year?  Last one I got was a FF Lily Ledy on October of last year... *sad*).

Foreign ponies are much less likely to turn up in US flea markets than in other countries, but a few peope have had lucky finds in the US over the years. I found a German Baby Lemondrop at a used toy shop in the US in the late '90's.

A Blosscotch and a German Large Symbol Raindrop  in Mexico (the first on a flea market, the second in a mystery lot).

I've also know of a Peruvian Parasol and an Italian Snuzzle (or Peachy? can't remember who) found in another Mexican flea market.
